Set Your DVRs: Mark Bittman on Colbert

I'm excited about seeing Stephen Colbert nail Mark Bittman this week. Hopefully it leads to the legendary Colbert bump. Actually it looks like a week of bangers for Colbert:


OK, so maybe I'm skipping the Invention of Air guy. But David Byrne, Mark Bittman, and the guy who wrote the least expected book in Continuum's 33 1/3 series sounds like a helluva run.

Welcome Everyone!

So, today I'm throwing the doors open on this fledgling food blog/personal journey/shrine to Mark Bittman. Welcome!

I hope you'll enjoy following me on this crazy project of mine; hopefully I can learn a lot and pass along some of the knowledge, saving you all some legwork. If you don't already have a copy of How to Cook Everything, check out the right sidebar and follow the link to get one for yourself. Trust me, you need it. You'll see. Already have it? Grab a copy of Bittman's latest, Food Matters, a Pollan-esque manifesto. With recipes!

If you have any questions, requests, comments, or other thoughts to share, please leave it in the comments or, if you like, shoot me an email: ben.fishner@gmail.com. Now let's get started...

Food Matters on NPR

Bittman! National Public Radio! I could only be more psyched on this if there were Muppets involved: the man himself was on NPR plugging his new manifesto of a cookbook, Food Matters. Listen here. Agricultural revolution, minimalist style.

He discussed his eat more vegetables, eat less meat approach, its effect on your body and the environment, and then started talking crazy about savory oatmeal with soy sauce. Serious Eats tried it out. Now I want to.
